Alex Smith is no where in Flacco's league when it comes to skill, statistics, and most importantly....WINS. (playoff wins, that is.)

Im not comparing his career only his play last season.

compare smith last season to any season flacco has ever played and its pretty comparable.

If he is on par with last season I dont see him being any worse than flacco. Im not saying flacco is bad at all either he is a good qb that plays to his strengths and away from his weaknesses, just like smith did last season.

Neither are stars, I wouldnt really consider either 2nd teir qb's although flacco is improving.

ESPN is pure shit anyway.... i can say for damn sure, it wasnt his fault they lost

No, it wasn't his fault. He really is gaining so much valuable experience playing in all of these playoff games. 9 career playoff games in 4 NFL seasons. Flacco deserves his new contract and he'll get it. He's still attending OTA's and he's willing to play out the last year of his rookie contract. That says a lot about his attitude and character, IMO. Just because the D has Ed and Ray doesn't mean the Ravens are an old team. Having a great front office and scouting staff will allow you to be a consistent winner, year in and year out.

The defense will miss Suggs, for sure, but new stars are made every year in the NFL. Next man up.

Flacco aint that good. He is in the game manager category. Guys like Brady, Brees, both Mannings etc... can put teams on they're backs to get the win.

He's top 15 in the NFL. No doubt in my mind.

I seem to remember a 92 yard winning drive touchdown pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers this past season. On the ROAD. Something the Patriots haven't done against the Steelers in their house. We're done talking now....

Look bro...the Patriots are waaaaayyyyy overrated. Yeah, you guys beat us at your house but you know deep down you should have lost that game. Enjoy Brady for another two seasons, tops. You're starting LT just retired and Welker is pissed because Kraft has a bad habit of not paying his veterans when their contracts are up. That might have something to do with the fact that it's been 8 seasons since your last superbowl title.

Epic butthurt I seem to remember winning the AFC Championship game multiple times in Pittsburgh (2001, 2004) Look, I respect the Ravens and the Steelers. Only the Steelers can be in the same discussion with the Pats though.

I think Alex Smith turned the corner last season. And now they've given him Moss and Manningham to go along with Davis, Crabtree, and Gore. I actually think WR was a bigger need than QB this offseason.

uh moss was cut by 3 teams two years ago and was out of the league last year

manningham made one memorable catch in the super bowl

and your qb still stinks

E

I'm not a Moss fan, but if he shows up, he's a good addition.

Manningham is an upgrade as a WR3.

Alex Smith certainly didn't stink last year. He passed for 3144 yards with 17 TDs and 5 INTs. Completed 61 percent of his passes. 13-3 as a starter. Not all pro numbers, but a huge improvement and far cry from being a dog.

You mean the Pats can be in the same discussion with the Steelers..We have won 2 rings since the Pats won their last ring.....

You are right. I fucking hate the Steelers. Since the Afc East is garbage, My most hated rivals over the years have been teams like the Steelers, Colts, and Ravens. We always have to meet one or more of those teams in the playoffs every year.
